As you can see, I'm not much of a photographer but, it is what it is.
This is my first German made watch and my first watch with a Fricker case. Now I can kick the bucket as I have lived a full life.
I'm not going to list all the impressive specs for this piece because they are already posted on the Kremke site, and, I'm too lazy to type all that stuff.
My first impressions of this watch are that fit and finish are excellent.
It is lighter than I imagined because, I suspect, I am used to chunky divers like the JSAR and Eco-Zilla.
The face is very legible and that's a big plus for my old eyes.
The strap is very nice but a little short for my 7.5 inch wrist.
The lume seems very good. In the wrist shot above, you can see some of the lume. I had not charged the lume. This is the glow from just wearing the watch around the house for a few minutes.
The bezel is bi-directional and is friction tight. (I'm not sure of the correct terminology here.) The bezel is a little looser than I would like. I'm not sure I would want to rely on it for critical timing operations. Again, this is judgement is probably due to my experience with dive watches.
A word about Ian Kremke and Kremke Watches. My transaction was handled very professionally. Ian is a man who says what he means and does what he says... a rare quality in this world today. I respect that very much!
